Alexloop Review redux, an update on the TH-D74a plus something new K6UDA Radio Episode 32

Just 900 more subscribers and I'm giving away that new Elecraft KX2. Help a fellow ham out and subscribe today. It’s Halloween and you’ve never seen a ham radio show like this one before. This week I’m re reviewing the Alexloop Walkham Magnetic loop antenna. Next time, I’m shooting out with the big three loops. I’ve got a short update on my Kenwood TH-D74a and… well, Ask Bob Anything.

 

Ever done any work with the MFJ-933/935/936 loop tuner boxes? I have the 935 and I'm curious how that stacks up against these others.

Always like using the KX2 and Alex Loop amazing kit together

Keep up the videos

 

I haven't used any of the MFJ loops. maybe someday.

 

BTW, there is a reason that Alex uses the Gold Plated PL-259/So-239 connectors on the loop. Gold is just slightly less conductive than Silver but it doesn't tarnish. Tarnished Silver is a much, much worse conductor than Gold (there seems to be an old wives tale that claims that tarnished silver is more conductive than silver but it simply is not true). So unless you clean the connectors on a loop that uses Silver connectors, over time you will see a degradation performance.

Interesting. I hadn't thought about it before.
